WASHINGTON: Eight months after the Ukraine-Russia war, a top US general estimated on Wednesday that Russia’s military had lost at least a million soldiers. The general also said that Kyiv’s armed forces may have suffered similar casualties in the war. According to a report by the news agency Reuters, Army General Mark Milley told the Economic Club of New York that the number of Russian soldiers killed and wounded in the war is more than one lakh. He said that the Ukrainian side had probably suffered a similar loss.
According to Mark Milley, 40 thousand of Ukrainian citizens have died in this war so far. With the high number of lives in this war that started in the last week of February, millions of people have so far left Ukraine and taken refuge in neighboring countries.
